Thank You Jesus For The Blood

 Thank You Jesus For The Blood

CCLI Song # 7172456
Bryan McCleery | Charity Gayle | David Gentiles | Elisha Albright Hoffman | 
John Hart Stockton | Ryan Kennedy | Steven Musso


Verse 1
I was a wretch 
I remember who I was 
I was lost, I was blind 
I was running out of time 

Sin separated 
the breach was far too wide 
But from the far side of the chasm 
You held me in Your sight 

Verse 2
So You made a way 
across the great divide  
Left behind Heaven's throne 
to build it here inside 

There at the cross 
You paid the debt I owed 
Broke my chains, freed my soul 
For the first time I had hope 

Chorus
Thank You Jesus, for the blood applied 
Thank You Jesus, it has washed me white 
Thank You Jesus, You have saved my life 
Brought me from the darkness into glorious light 

Verse 3
You took my place 
laid inside my tomb of sin 
You were buried for three days 
But then You walked right out again 

And now death has no sting 
and life has no end 
For I have been transformed 
by the blood of the Lamb 

Chorus
Thank You Jesus, for the blood applied 
Thank You Jesus, it has washed me white 
Thank You Jesus, You have saved my life 
Brought me from the darkness into glorious light 

Bridge
There is nothing stronger  
Than (Oh) the wonder working power 
Of the blood the blood 

That calls us sons and daughters 
We are ransomed by our Father 
Through the blood the blood 
(2X)

Chorus
Thank You Jesus, for the blood applied 
Thank You Jesus, it has washed me white 
Thank You Jesus, You have saved my life 
Brought me from the darkness into glorious light 


Glory to His name 
Glory to His Name 
There to my heart was the blood applied 
Glory to His name 


 Thank You Jesus For The Blood
감사해요 주님의 보혈

I was a wretch 
I remember who I was 
I was lost, I was blind 
I was running out of time 
난 죄 많던 그런 사람이었네 
길 잃고 방황해 끝을 향해 달렸네
Sin separated 
the breach was far too wide 
But from the far side of the chasm 
You held me in Your sight 
죄로 벌어진 틈은 너무 멀어
하지만 그 끝에서 주님 내 손 잡으셨네

So You made a way 
across the great divide  
Left behind Heaven's throne 
to build it here inside 
한 길 만들어 그 틈을 메우네
주 보좌 버리고 내 안에 세우네
There at the cross 
You paid the debt I owed 
Broke my chains, freed my soul 
For the first time I had hope 
십자가에서 내 빚을 갚았네
죄 사슬 끊기고 내 영혼 자유해

Thank You Jesus, for the blood applied 
Thank You Jesus, it has washed me white 
감사해요 주님의 보혈 
감사해요 나를 씻었네
Thank You Jesus, You have saved my life 
Brought me from the darkness into glorious light 
감사해요 날 구하셨네
어둠에서 빛으로 날 건지셨네

You took my place 
laid inside my tomb of sin 
You were buried for three days 
But then You walked right out again 
날 대신해 죄의 무덤에 묻혀
사흘 만에 일어나 다시 걸어 나오셨네
And now death has no sting 
and life has no end 
For I have been transformed 
by the blood of the Lamb 
사망 힘 잃고 생명 끝없네
어린 양 보혈로 난 변화되었네

Thank You Jesus, for the blood applied 
Thank You Jesus, it has washed me white 
감사해요 주님의 보혈 
감사해요 나를 씻었네
Thank You Jesus, You have saved my life 
Brought me from the darkness into glorious light 
감사해요 날 구하셨네
어둠에서 빛으로 날 건지셨네

There is nothing stronger 
Than (Oh) the wonder working power 
Of the blood, the blood 
세상을 이기신 기적을 행하는
예수의 보혈 보혈
That calls us sons and daughters 
We are ransomed by our Father 
Through the blood, the blood 
자녀로 부르시고 우릴 대속하는
주님의 보혈 보혈
There is nothing stronger

어둠에서 빛으로 날 건지셨네

Glory to His name 
Glory to His Name 
There to my heart was the blood applied 
Glory to His name 
어둠을 밝히시는 새벽 별
방황하는 내 맘 주의 길 비추시네

죄로 벌어진 틈은 너무 멀어

Aug 27, 2023 “The Journey of Faith” (Acts 27:13-26)

10 “Men, I can see that our voyage is going to be disastrous and bring great loss to ship and cargo, and to our own lives also.” 

11 But the centurion, instead of listening to what Paul said, followed the advice of the pilot and of the owner of the ship. 

12 Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided that we should sail on, hoping to reach Phoenix and winter there. This was a harbor in Crete, facing both southwest and northwest.

The Storm
13 When a gentle south wind began to blow, they saw their opportunity; so they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete. 

14 Before very long, a wind of hurricane force, called the Northeaster, swept down from the island. 

15 The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven along. 

16 As we passed to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were hardly able to make the lifeboat secure, 

17 so the men hoisted it aboard. Then they passed ropes under the ship itself to hold it together. Because they were afraid they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor[b] and let the ship be driven along. 

18 We took such a violent battering from the storm that the next day they began to throw the cargo overboard. 

19 On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands. 

20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved.

21 After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: “Men, you should have taken my advice not to sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss. 

22 But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed. 

23 Last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me 

24 and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.’ 

25 So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me. 26 Nevertheless, we must run aground on some island.”

The Journey of Faith 
Acts 27:10-26 
In this passage, we read how Paul tells the crew of a boat that they should not travel during the winter. The pilots tell the centurion that they should travel and when a gentle south wind comes, they set sail and travels. 
 
 Paul was right. A hurricane like north wind comes and the crew throws away the cargo and tackle to survive the storm. Paul tells the crew the boat will be lost but no one will lose their lives. 
 
Similar to us. We look at the world and make decision that seem reasonable. The Harbour was not suitable to stay during the winter and the gentle south wind was good for traveling. The pilot advises the centurion what to do. The pilot is experienced and knows better than Paul. However, Paul listened to God. There are many things we cannot know, and we need to consider what God wants us to do. God needs to be consulted or our best laid plans might fall apart. 
 
Lifeguards do not rush in to save a drowning person. They wait until the drowning person I s exhausted and cannot fight anymore. God also will wait until our hearts are broken. It is only then can God intervene effectively. Our hearts need to be ready and willing to surrender completely to God. 
 
One of the most dangerous things that can happen to us is to think we can plan and do things without God. This pride will make us stumble. God wants us to succeed. God also wants us to know that He is almighty and will rescue us. Yet, God is more than a hero. He is our Father and our God. Without relying on God, we cannot live. 
 
Paul's faith is commendable. Whatever God says should be our greatest comfort. 
 
God always know the best way for us.

Aug 20, 2023 “A Call to Patience”(James 5:7-11)

7 Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. 

8 You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. 

9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door. 

10 As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 

11 Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.

A Call to Patience

James 5:7-11

In this passage, James calls us to be patient in fact, patience is used four times in this short passage. Steadfastness is the outcome of patience.

There are three different calls to patience.

Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains.
James 5:7 ESV

Are you eagerly waiting for the Lord? James calls us to be patient as we wait. The Holy Spirit is in every one of us and gives us patience.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22‭-‬23 ESV ‬

Many of us believe the lie that we are not patient. We have patience from the Holy Spirit, and we need to choose to be patient.

It is a blessing to wait until the coming of Lord with patience. We don't know when Jesus will return, but, like a farmer, we expect fruit to come. It is hard work and much of this depends on the weather. The rain comes when it does, yet the farmer still plants and prunes expecting good things to come.

a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
Ecclesiastes 3:2 ESV

The verse from Ecclesiastes tells us that there are different times for different activities. As a farmer, what are we planting in our lives?

You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door.
James 5:8‭-‬9 ESV ‬

Life is not easy or fair. We need to strengthen our hearts to make the right choices.

Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.
Proverbs 4:23 ESV

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? “I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.”
Jeremiah 17:9‭-‬10 ESV 
Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them.
Hebrews 13:9 ESV

It is only by establish in pure hearts or strengthening them that we can make choices that please God and are not corrupted by evil.

Our nature is to grumble whenever we face any problems which are unpleasant or disagreeable to us. We like to blame others for our circumstances.

“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment, you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.
Matthew 7:1‭-‬2 ESV ‬

As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.
James 5:10‭-‬11 ESV ‬

Once again James calls us to patience, but this patience involved suffering. James refers to the prophets who suffered and were patient. Their steadfastness allowed God to be merciful and compassionate to them as they endured their suffering.

Jesus tells us that it is a blessing to suffer for being righteous.

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:10 ESV

Most of us are patient with our prayer requests and Jesus second coming, but others are being patient with their persecution. Many of us cannot imagine what it means to be persecuted, yet there are many are persecuted.

Aug 13, 2023 “Experiencing the True Power of Knowing Jesus” (Acts 19:11-20)

In the book of Acts we read about many miracles. Today Christians experience similar miracles, but we tend to overlook them. Much like the Israelites, we become forgetful and ungrateful.  
 
The biggest miracle in our life is to be saved from sin by Jesus. Yet, we take it for granted that we have salvation.  
 
God used Paul to do great things and perform miracles. Jesus knew Paul personally and Paul was using the power for Jesus. 
 
And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, 
Acts 19:11 ESV 
 
The name of Jesus invoked great power. However, people did not know Jesus. 
 
Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims.” 
Acts 19:13 ESV 
 
It does not go well for them because the power they were using not commissioned for them to use. They were mimicking Paul and did not know Jesus. Their power was fake and the results were humiliating. 
 
Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this. But the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?” And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 
Acts 19:14‭-‬16 ESV 
 
This can be the same with us. If we do not know Jesus, we can pretend to be a Christian and go through the motions, but what will be the result. We will eventually be found to be fake Christians and suffer. 
 
Understanding that God is the creator of all things and is to be worshipped and obeyed will bring honour and successes. This is what happened with those who used Jesus’ name in the right way. 
 
And this became known to all the residents of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks. And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was extolled. 
Acts 19:17 ESV 
 
We need to know God, then know ourselves and finally experience God. Job went through this.  
 
I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you; therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes.” 
Job 42:5‭-‬6 ESV 
 
We first need to know God. Then we can confess our sins. Finally we can Experience God. This will then spill over to others. 
 
Also many of those who were now believers came, confessing and divulging their practices. 
Acts 19:18 ESV

ESV - Phil. 3:10 

that I may know him and the power of his resurrection and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,

NIV - Phil. 3:10 

I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,

NLT - Phil. 3:10 

I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death,

NASB - Phil. 3:10 

that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;

NKJV - Phil. 3:10 

that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

THE MESSAGE - Phil. 3:10 

that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

Philippians 3:10 Amplified Bible

10 And this, so that I may know Him [experientially, becoming more thoroughly acquainted with Him, understanding the remarkable wonders of His Person more completely] and [in that same way experience] the power of His resurrection [which overflows and is active in believers], and [that I may share] the fellowship of His sufferings, by being continually conformed [inwardly into His likeness even] to His death [dying as He did];

Sermon Outline 

I. Knowing the Person of Christ. 

II. Knowing the Power of Christ 

III. Knowing the Partnership of the Suffering of Christ.

Background of the city of Philippi Acts 16 

 

1.      First convert in Philippi is Lydia 

2.      Servant girl's evil spirit of prophesy exercised 

3.      Paul is arrested in put in prison. 

4.      Paul wrote the book of Philippians while he was prison 

5.      Rejoicing is mentioned 16 time in Philippians  

Philippians Chapter 1 Joy of living in Christ

Philippians Chapter 2 Joy of serving Christ in unity

Philippians Chapter 3 Joy in knowing in Christ

Philippians Chapter 4 Joy in resting in Christ

 

What does Paul want to know? 

1.      Knowing the person of Christ. 

 

that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead. 

Philippians 3:10-11 ESV 

 

In Greek the word used to know has the meaning that you can never know completely. Paul knew that knowing God is something progressive. Paul wants to know who Jesus is. Even though Paul was serving Christ. He wanted to know Jesus more. This knowledge is more than information from books. This is a knowledge of relationship. By prayer, communication, you can have a relationship. Beyond information, there must be revelation and that can only come from communication This knowledge can only come from a deep relationship. You need to pray to get revelation.  

 

And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ 

Matthew 7:23 ESV 

 

Even those who do miracles and preach Jesus might not have a relationship with Jesus. 

 

For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 

1 Corinthians 2:2 ESV 

 

The real test to show if we know Christ or not is simply whether or not we keep his commands.  

 

And by this we know that we have come to know him if we keep his commandments. 

1 John 2:3 ESV 

  

2.      Knowing the power of Christ. 

 

Every Christian who knows Christ will want to know the power of Christ which is the power of Resurrection. The foundation is to know Christ personally and then know Christ's power. Some just want to know has power. 

 

 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 

Ephesians 1:19-20 ESV 

 

You cannot ignore the fact that there is spiritual warfare. You need to have the power of Christ or else you will become prey of the Devil. 

 

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 

Ephesians 6:10 ESV 

 

The more you have relationship with Jesus and know who He is, the more you will know his power. 

  

3.      Knowing the partnership of the suffering of Christ. 

 

Not many Christians want to know the partnership of the suffering of Christ. Only the deepest and most mature Christians will seek the partnership of the suffering of Christ.

 

But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. 

1 Peter 4:13 ESV 

 

if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us; 

2 Timothy 2:12 ESV 

 

 The ultimate goal of knowing Christ is to be becoming like Christ.
